As I have warned you many times, hackers and identity thieves exploit vulnerabilities in the many software programs that we all use so it is very important when security patches for those vulnerabilities are released to install those patches as soon as possible. Hackers and identity thieves take advantage of the fact that many people delay or don’t ever update the programs they use. Delaying or failing to update your software with new security patches is a big mistake. Here at Scamicide we make it our business to let you know about the latest software security patches as they become available. Here is the most recent notice from the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team which is a part of the Department of Homesland Security regarding patches for the Adobe Flash Player.
